I am praying for my friend, the Black Squirrel

Saturday cold cloudy morning with 1 C. Very quiet outside. I think, it 
is weekend or may be most of the people staying home,taking precautions, 
following instructions.

 I am busy with my laundry. I do it early morning, before having breakfast
so to be done before noon. I have other plans after that. One load is in 
Dryer. Second one, of my sweaters and stoles, is ready to go into washer.

 I think, this period of staying home, has to be taken like a blessing.
To do things, we never have time to do.To spend time with our own self,
to ponder, to focus on things, inside our home.

 Yesterday, I sorted my clothes, reorganized my cupboard. Clothes,
I wear at home, are now on the upper shelves, at eye level. I did it 
as sort of precaution. If I get sick, it will be easy to take clothes.
I don't have to bed down. Easy to handle things. We have to be 
ready for anything. 

 It is 10.30, I am sitting in TV lounge. News Channel is on. I am watching 
that and also busy with my Crossword and Scrabble books. I am enjoying 
the scenic view of my back garden too.

 It is quiet, Black Squirrel not there. I think, he is staying home, following 
the directives. Birds doing the same. I can't see anyone. Trees giving somber 
look. It looks, it is time to wait and see. What will be the next.

 I called two of my senior club members.They didn't get any call. No one 
called them. We talked for a while. Just a chit chat. We have to share
and let people know that they are not alone in these difficult difficult 
moments. Everyone facing the same. We all are in same boat.

 It is 12.30, my daughter in law is sleeping. She didn't have good sleep at 
night. My son went for walk. I will go after. Someone has to stay home.
My eldest grandson is in bed with fracture. He might need something.
It is great that my family is confident that I will be able to handle things.
They can take exit and relax.

It is 1.15, I am busy in my kitchen, making chocolate milk and cutting fruits 
for my grandson. He is awake. It is 3.45, I am getting ready to go for my 
walk to my second home, I mean to Tim Horton.

 It is 4.15, I am all set, dressed up in layers. It is so beautiful, out here.
Birds playing hide and seek on tree tops. Some walking around. Enjoying 
and having chit chat. I can't see my friend, the Black Squirrel. 
I am worried, praying for him.

 It is 5 pm, I am back, sitting in TV lounge, watching and enjoying 
my time with my family. It is important to keep connected with 
the people around.

  January 12th 2024 It is around mid of January. Time for us to, start getting snow storms. This will be off an on, for the next couple of weeks. It is 10.15, mixed sunny cloudy morning, windy too. Gusts are 38 to 48 km.  Friday used to be my work day, not today. Kids day camp is going on in the library, at my work place. I am off for the whole week. I have to find my own things to do, to get busy. From Monday, things will be back on track. I will be having my regular work hours. It is 11.45, I am getting ready to walk to Tim Hortons. I take it as my second home. I know that it is cold and windy. I am all set with gloves, stole and three layers underneath my winter coat. I will be fine. Whites Road and walkway is, all clear of snow. I see some white patches of snow, by the side of road, under trees and bushes. This is the beauty of Toronto, snow cleared right away. It looks like a usual wintry day. No snow. Everything working, normal routine. Nothing stops, so is my walk. I am at Tim H

  July 7th 2023 It is hot sunny morning, 9.15 and already 24 C, feel like 26. I woke up early, done with my breakfast. Talked to one of my daughters, my middle one, called me from Grimsby.  She was going home, done with her work. It was a brief talk. She was busy, picking up her son, on the way from school. My other daughters are still at work. They will call me later on. We talk everyday, not much, just to connect.  I am busy with my computer. No message from my childhood friend. She never skips, must be busy. She was at her son's place in Sydney, was planning to go back to Perth, to be with her daughter. She must be stuck, other matters to be resolved. Anyway we have to find our own, "Things to do", to get busy, to make our day. Don't have to wait for people's calls and messages. I am busy playing Scrabble and Card games on my computer. Computer is sort of Blessing for me. I don't know how my Mom used to pass her time without phone and computer. How come she

  June 13th 2023 Beautiful morning. Great weather. It was raining all day, yesterday. Stopped at late night. I was working, Mondays are my work days. Have to go to play Darts. It starts at 9.30 in mornings. We were thirteen all together. Picked our numbers to make teams. Two boards with four teams. Three players in each. One team was odd, I mean with four. Anyway we enjoyed. Thirteen seniors on a rainy day, out to play, to enjoy time together. Amazing at that age. Gives inner peace. Boosts will power with affirmation that we still can do it. Rain or no rain, nothing can stop, to make our day. I think, will is everything behind your motto. When there is a will, there is always a way to go ahead, to move on, to do what you want. Today is Tuesday, weather is great 18 C, a bit on a cooler side. I am off, not working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last week I booked my flight to England. My daughters were pushing me for that. Asking me to come, to visit. Travel is too demanding at our age. Too
